What Laptop Should I Get From Best Buy?

What Laptop Should I Get From Best Buy? That’s an easy question to answer. You should get a laptop that offers you the best options for the money you want to spend. Most laptops and desktop computer are designed pretty much the same way. The more expensive machine come with better mother-boards, processors and sound-cards.

Look at the manufacture of the machine and do lots of research before you invest your hard earned dollars into their product. Knowing their service record, easy of connection for assistance with their product and customer complaints are great indicators of whether or not you should purchase their product.

What Laptop Should I Get From Best Buy?

Best Buy offers a wide range of laptops. Hewlett Packard, Samsung, Lenovo and Apple just to name a few. If your an Apple user, your more than likely stay with that brand. I prefer the HP because of it’s long history and excellent tech support. If I need driver for my machine, HP makes it effortlessly.

I’m not going to bore you with the history of these amazing laptops choices but to encourage to do a little research on their past designs. I strongly encourage people to stay with a big name manufacture that has been around for a while.

Customer support is a closer for me. If the company has a low star rating for customer support then that’s a no go sign for me. When you are in trouble (and you will at some point) you want to know you have the solid backing of customer support 100% in your corner.

What are the key features I should be looking for?

What a great question. Make you sure you have the basic features that you need to do your work or classes. If you need a CD Rom, them make sure your laptop comes with one. If you are going to do a lot of graphics (not photos of friends and family) then make sure you have a large hard drive, 16 gigs of Ram, and a powerful processor. Here is a list I follow when buying a laptop:

Processor ( at least Quad Core ) – If Gamer – do more research

CD Rom ( read-write )

USB ports ( at least 2 )

HDMI Ports ( at least 1 )

Ram (16 Gigs ) If Gamer – do more research

Hard Drive ( at least 1 Terabyte ) If Gamer – do more research

Sound Card ( Must be major player in the market ie, NVIDIA) If Gamer – do more research

How much should I pay for a laptop?

I have a rule of thumb for this question. I simply pay with what I can afford. Don’t spend a trillion dollars on a laptop. it is not going to make me smarter, but it does tend to empty out my hard earned bank account. I’ll even go to a pawn shop to find a great deal on a laptop. Laptops change day by day, so don’t get trapped in the “I want the best of the best sir” crap. Get what’s in your budget. Most of today’s laptops are designed to do what you need them to do. (Gamers, you a different breed of cat – invest in more research before you buy)

I tend to stay between $225 – $499. ( I have a family to feed 🙂 )
